Freshly Picked Moccasin Giveaway

On more than oneoccasion I have referenced mine and Mike's love for a certain show called Shark Tank, which has now ended thanks to the special cable package deal being expired (single tear). Anyways, a few months back we saw an episode which featured Susan and her company Freshly Picked, and I was so incredibly impressed, as were the Sharks who invested in her. The story of how she built her company is inspiring, you should definitely watch it for yourself. I am thrilled to be able to offer a giveaway of a pair of her baby/toddler moccasins here on the blog.

I wasn't sure how the moccasins would work on Lucy's bigger toddler feet, we usually stick to doing the super cheap moccasins for when they're just learning to walk and then graduate them to normal shoes. That usually works fine but there are almost always multiple pairs purchased because they wear out so easily. Lucy does don her normal tennis shoes or sandals now that she's going on 2, but I was getting really tired of her removing her shoes anywhere from 1 to 30 times from the time I put her in her car seat to go out to when we return home. Call me crazy but repeated toddler shoe application sort of drives me crazy. Enter Freshly Picked moccasins.

I was really looking forward to trying out these bigger mocs on her to see if we had any extra success in the "keeping your shoes on your feet department", and we really have.

I've had to convince her to let me take them off, she loves them so. She has requested them above all her other shoes since they arrived and obviously really enjoys how they feel on her feet.

This is her excited "new shoe dance"
The leather is super thick so they worked great when Mike took the girls to the park (even on the mulch!) and they actually didn't make her feet even a little bit sweaty.

Oh my! So Many colors to choose from! I think I would go with the stone suede color! They still look like they have that soft feeling while at the same time, making them a little more modern with the gray tone.
